Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-14 establishes two baseline requirements for exterior property areas. First, all outdoor spaces must be kept clean, safe, and sanitary, with no accumulation of rubbish or garbage allowed. Second, any materials stored outdoors must be fully enclosed or screened so they cannot be seen from neighboring properties or public streets. Violations of this section may carry penalties as referenced in § 29-1-63.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-14, compliant property operators routinely inspect exterior areas to ensure no rubbish or garbage is allowed to accumulate and that all outdoor storage is enclosed or screened from neighboring properties and public streets. Maintaining proper screening structures—such as fencing, enclosures, or dense landscaping—around stored materials is a common practice for meeting the visibility requirements. Operators also typically stay aware of the cross-referenced penalty provision at § 29-1-63 and the weed regulations at § 25-2-1 et seq., which apply alongside this section.

Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-14 gives tenants a basis to expect that exterior premises are maintained in a clean, safe, and sanitary condition and that any stored materials on the property are properly screened from view. If exterior areas are not being maintained in accordance with this provision, tenants may document the conditions and file a complaint with the appropriate local code enforcement or property maintenance authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain how § 29-1-14 and the associated penalty provision at § 29-1-63 may apply to a given situation.
